	The Landing at Suvla (Bay), Gallipoli
		The "Landing at Suvla Bay" was an amphibious landing made at Suvla on the Aegean coast of Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey as part of the August Offensive, the final British attempt to break the deadlock of the Battle of Gallipoli.
		The original plan at Suvla was to put the 11th Division ashore south of Nibrunesi Point, the southern headland of the bay, as it was not considered safe to land in the dark within the bay itself where there were uncharted shoals.
		The objective of IX Corps was to seize the ring of hills that surrounded the Suvla plain; Kiretch Tepe to the north along the Gulf of Saros, Tekke Tepe to the east and the Anafarta Spur to the south-east.

		Suvla Bay was large and ideal for the landing of a sizeable number of additional troops.
		Directly in front of the bay was the shallow Salt Lake, dry in August (but ill-suited for an infantry advance), and beyond that the flat Suvla plain that would serve for subsequent troop deployment.
		Hamilton's next objective was to be the linking up of Allied forces at Suvla Bay with those sited at Anzac Cove, a distance of some 5km, and resulted in the Battles of Scimitar Hill and Hill 60.

		Suvla Bay was north of ANZAC cove, which had been the scene of some of the heaviest fighting of the campaign.
		The assignment of landing at Suvla Bay was given to the British 10th and 11th divisions, both Kitchener brigades seeing their first action.
		In the aftermath of the Suvla Bay landings, Hamilton shifted the British 53rd, 54th, and 29th divisions to reinforce the troops at Suvla Bay and attempted a final breakout on August 21 with the assaults on Scimitar Hill and Hill 60.

		At Suvla Bay the IX Corps under the command of Lieutenant General Sir Frederick Stopford would land and capture a cluster of hills several kms inland.
		Stopford's IX Corps began landing at Suvla Bay on the night of 6 August and by the next morning almost 20,000 men were ashore.

		In August 1915, British forces attempted to break the stalemate on the Gallipoli peninsula with a second amphibious landing at Suvla Bay, north of the beachheads established that April.
		At Suvla Bay, destroyers towed the beetles into position before being cut loose for their runs to the beach.
		At Nibruseni Point at the mouth of Suvla Bay, the armored lighters worked well, depositing the first wave ashore and shuttling back and forth to the waiting destroyers to embark additional troops from the assault echelon.

		On 6 August 1915, the Royal Navy, with the advantages that command of the sea confers, landed five divisions of troops at Suvla Bay to attempt to break a stalemate between the Allied and Turkish armies that had existed since the April landings on the Gallipoli peninsula.
		It was planned to land five new divisions to reinforce the ANZAC corps and effect a landing at Suvla Bay to capture Koja Chemen Tepe, the highest point on the Sari Bair range, then cross the peninsula from Gaba Tepe to Maidos.
		For the Suvla operation, the concentration of the force was greatly facilitated by the use of the large cunarders, Mauretania and Aquitania.

		Beyond the western tip of Morto Bay, is a more modest British memorial: a stone obelisk almost 30 meters (100 feet) tall surrounded by a wall faced with stone tablets bearing the names of the 20,504 British soldiers and sailors who died in the campaign but who have no known graves.
		The beach cemeteries, and the single French cemetery which overlooks Morto Bay, are the most distinctive reminders of the ferocity of the Gallipoli fighting, an alien presence belying the tranquility of their bucolic surroundings.
		To divert attention from the Suvla landings, an intense assault was made on the Anzac front (an action dramatized in a recent Australian film entitled Gallipoli), but inexplicably the British forces were not ordered immediately to take the surrounding hills before the Turkish defenders had time to regroup.

		The Suvla Bay landings of 67 August were an integral part of the August offensive.
		The primary aim of the British IX Corps was to establish a base at Suvla which could be used to supply the northern sector through the winter.
		Scimitar Hill was a vital key to the Turkish defences as it overlooked Suvla to the north and west and the British positions on the lower hills of the Anafartalar Plain.

	Sir Ian Hamilton's Third Despatch
		Suvla Bay was but one mile further from Mudros than Anzac, and its possession would ensure us a submarine-proof base and a harbour good against gales, excepting those from the south-west.
		We believed that the Turks were still unsuspicious about Suvla and that their only defences near that part of the coast were a girdle of trenches round Lala Baba and a few unconnected lengths of fire trench on Hill 10 and on the hills forming the northern arm of the bay.
		The numbers of the enemy allotted for the defence of the Suvla and Ejelmer areas (including the troops in the Anafarta villages, but exclusive of the general reserves in rear of the Sari Bair) were supposed to be under 4,000.

		To the left these hills went on behind us to the northern end of the blue bay, where the battleships rode snugly at anchor inside protecting nets.

		Rapidly the pink sunrise swept behind the rugged mountains to the left, and was reflected in wobbling ripples in the bay.
		The sky was overcast, and the bay, generally a kaleidoscope of Eastern blues and greens, was dull and grey.
		But the bay was always full of interest for me, with its ever-changing colour, and the imprint of the ripples in the gleaming silver-sand.

	Kitchener's & Hamilton's Reports on Gallipoli
		The arrival of transports and the disembarkation of troops in Suvla Bay were designed to enable troops to support this attack.
		Unfortunately, however, the advance from Suvla Bay was not developed quickly enough, and the movement forward was brought to a standstill after an advance of about two and one-half miles.
		From the latter position a further attack on the Turkish entrenchments was delivered on the 21st, but after several hours of sharp fighting it was not found possible to gain the summit of the hills occupied by the enemy, and the intervening space being unsuitable for defense, the troops were withdrawn to their original position.

		His dug-out was made in a slope overlooking the bay, and was really a deep square pit in the sand-bank, roofed with corrugated iron and sandbagged all round.
